Our guest for this episode is Jeff Gilman the Executive Director of Redwood Gospel Mission in Santa Rosa, California. Our topic is ministering to those experiencing homelessness and Jeff's innovative programs and services have proven to be a success in building bridges between the faith community and those living on the streets.
His experience, over almost 40 years in ministry, brings wisdom and creativity to the "3 hots and a cot" mentality that has for so long dominated the service community to this particular population. Join us and listen to Jeff talk about what he thinks will help heal this homeless crisis, and SPOILER, it has nothing to do with just food and shelter.
